Six days ago, this horse ran a respectable race over Sha Tin’s 1600m, jumping slowly and settling towards the rear. It made a strong effort from the middle stages, accelerating well in the final two sections and chasing after Last Win. He finished seventh, beaten two and a half lengths. Racing again within two weeks, this time stepping up to Sha Tin over 1800m with a three-pound weight reduction. The distance should suit his running style; a hold-up tactic is expected as its finishing kick is strong compared to the other runners in the field. Despite drawing an unfavorable outside barrier, there's potential for a good run.
